Lateral nod. Fishing rods for summer fishing

Summer fishing on a float fishing rod from the shore in some places is often difficult due to dense vegetation. It is sometimes impossible to throw a tackle in a "window" or on a line for distinguishing between open water and plants. That's where the fisherman comes to the aid of fishermen with a rod with a side nod and a mormish. A long rod, the absence of a float clinging to algae, as well as a clear signaling about bite is not all of its advantages.

In this article, we will consider where and how to apply the side nod, as well as how to independently manufacture the fishing tackle for summer fishing on mormyshku.

What is the essence of a summer fishing rod with a lateral nod

In the view of most fishermen, fishing for mormyshka is an exceptionally winter occupation, as the essence of such fishing lies in the correct wiring of the bait. It is almost impossible to carry out such a procedure with a long summer rod. But in reality there is nothing complicated in this. It is enough to have a long and light rod, which you can hold in your hands for a long time, a set of mormys, as well as a quality nod that not only signals the bite, but also plays along with the bait.

The usual fishing rods for summer fishing, equipped with a float, do not allow fishing in places densely covered with aquatic plants, especially when it comes to casting a long distance. Even if the rigging drops to the bottom, the float must be stuck or caught.

A fishing rod with a side nod is quite another matter. Long rod allows you to "bring" the rigging in the right place, mormyshka without problems falls to the bottom, and the nod helps her play with the slightest shaking of the blank.

Where to catch

Catch on a similar tackle on rivers with a weak current, and also in stagnant water. As for the place, it is possible to fish on the summer lateral nod anywhere, both from the shore and from the boat. In the latter case, of course, a long rod will not be required.

This tackle is great for fishing in buckwheels and in places where there are flooded trees. It is also suitable for fishing from the cliff for hunting such cautious fish as a chub.

What kind of fish can you catch in the summer for mormyshka

You can fish with mormish in the summer for any fish, including for predatory fish. If this is an ordinary mormyshka with the addition in the form of maggots, bloodworms or caddis flies, it can be taken with roach, carp, perch, and even pike perch. When using a beaker, you can safely count on biting the chub, roach, crucian carp, carp, the same perch.

Rod for summer fishing for mormyshka

Selecting the rod, start with the material of its manufacture, because here one of the main factors is the weight of the blank. The smaller it is, the more comfortable it will be to fish. It is best to use carbon plastic for these purposes. The weight of the longest rod of this material does not exceed 350 g.

Now about the design. Fishing on the side nod in the summer implies the use of a telescopic blank. Neither plug or solid fishing rods are used here. As for the length of the form, it should be at least 5 meters.

Pay attention to the formation. More suitable for the rod fast structure with a long hard whip.

Coil

There are no special requirements for the coil for this type of fishing. Some anglers generally use motoviltse, but for catching large fish, such as bream or crucian carp, it is better to take advantage of inertia. Take some inexpensive brand model with a spool size of 2500-3000, which has a friction brake.

Leska

As the main line suits both monofilament and braid. The recommended thickness for the thread is 0.2 mm, for the cord - 0.15 mm. At least 30 meters of fishing line should be wound on the spool.

Requirements for nodding

But to nod the demands are the most stringent, because the whole success of fishing depends on it. It should have sufficient elasticity to signal even the most cautious bites, as well as a certain elasticity, clearly corresponding to the weight of the mormyshka.

As for its size, it should be proportional to the rod: the larger it is, the longer the nod should be. For example, for a 6-meter blank the ideal is a 20 cm long guard.

And one more obligatory requirement - it should be clearly visible due to the bright coloration, which contrasts with the color of the environment.

We make a simple plastic nod

A side nod for a summer fishing rod can be purchased at a fishing shop, or you can make it with your own hands. It is only necessary to determine with what bait it will work. Ideally, if it is unloaded it will be straight and bend at an angle of 90 degrees under the weight of the mormish. To conduct such tests, of course, it is necessary after its manufacture.

The simplest side nod can be made from an ordinary plastic bottle. To do this, we select a bottle of the required length and cut out of it a longitudinal billet with a size of 20x0.7 cm. Next, one of the ends of this strip is narrowed to 0.3-0.5 mm and processed by small punching at the points of cuts to remove the burrs. Now take a thin clip and form from it a loop with two ends joined together. This will be our terminal "tulip". This loop is tied to the narrow end of the future nod with threads and we cover the joint with waterproof glue. The tip of the nod is recommended to be painted red or orange so that it is better visible. This can be done with normal nail polish.

Plastic nod from the knee of the old fishing rod

A denser nod can be made from an old or broken telescopic fishing rod for summer fishing. To do this, detach one of the thinnest knees and cut out a strip of specified dimensions from it. Fit its width to a certain weight of the mormyshka. At the end of the lodge, attach the eyelet from the clip, as indicated above. Color the end in one of the bright colors (red, yellow, orange).

How to make summer side nod of roulette

For mormyshek heavier will require a harder nod. It is best to make it from thin sheet spring steel. But where to get it, you ask? A good side nod will come from an ordinary construction roulette. Here, even the length can not be measured - refer to the existing scale. Scissors for metal cut out the workpiece with the dimensions specified above, and carefully treat it with sandpaper. The width of the strip can be made smaller, because the density is much higher than plastic. Try the nod, attaching a thin line to the fishing line with a mormish. If under her weight the guard bends, then you are on the right track.

After grinding, attach a loop of staple to the thin end and paint it in a bright color.

How to attach a nod to a whip

Now, when the design of the nod has been sorted out, it remains to determine how to fix it on the vertex. The easiest way is to attach it to the whip perpendicularly and thread it around the joint with a waterproof glue. But this method is absolutely inconvenient, since it will cause problems when transporting the rod. Let's consider several alternative options.

You can take a piece of rubber insulation, which is used for sizing doors and windows. At its core is a thin elastic hose with a rectangular cross section. Cut off a piece of sealant 3-4 cm long, put it on the tip of the rod. If it does not sit tightly, we pull the tape over it.

Then, at the top of the seal with a scalpel or knife with a sharp and thin blade, we make horizontal incisions of 0.5-0.8 cm in length. We insert our guard in them, orienting its end in the desired direction.

If there is no "tulip" on the tip of the rod, you can use a dropper tube or any other similar tube instead of a sealant. If the whip is equipped with a "tulip", we take a tube for a cocktail, cut off a piece 3-4 cm long and insert it into the hole between the ring and the tip. We thrust the nod into the tube and get a practically ready tackle.

Bait

Catching on the side nod in the summer will be effective only in case of successful selection of bait. Here the main role is played by four factors:

• the weight;
• the form;
• the size;
• Colour.

Choosing mormyshki, keep in mind that summer models are slightly larger than winter ones, so you do not need to be shy about the size, unless we are talking about catching currents with tungsten models. But, since our kind of fishing is not used for a strong current, we confine ourselves to mormyshkas made of lead and its alloys.

For ordinary baits, we omit the description of the form, since they, in their majority, have round or oval outlines. For them, the main thing is not the appearance, but what is on the hook.

But for summer mormyshk-bezmotilok form and color - the decisive factors. In this period of the year you need to focus on the natural diet of fish, because summer is not the most hungry time for her.

Summer catching on the side nod of bream and roach will be more effective when using bezmokolok red, orange and yellow flowers, as well as their combinations with black. For the headband, dark colors are more suitable: brown, gray, black.

Carp on the side nod will respond better if the bait still contains a bait of animal origin, so it is preferable to use ordinary mormyshki for its fishing.

In terms of the shape of the lure, it's impossible to say something unambiguously, because in summer the whole fish is very fastidious. Well, if at hand you will have a set of summer mormyshkas, including both conventional models for catching bait, and a variety of bezmotki: "devils", "ants", "goats", "drops", "urals", etc.

Ways to catch a summer fishing rod with a side nod

If there is a universal fishing tackle in the summer, then this is a summer mormyshka. A lateral nod allows you to fish from the shore, and from the boat, and from the boat. Catching the forefront is considered the most difficult, since it requires the fisherman to endurance and patience. In addition, that you need to stand in the water, constantly hold a long rod in your hands, you also need to try to implement the correct wiring. Fishing from the shore is a bit easier, here at least you can lay out your gear and bait.

The easiest way to fish from a boat is to choose a suitable place, and a long rod is useless. For such fishing, a short form (1.5-2 m) of rapid construction with a rigid top is required. All other requirements for tackle are the same as for a long rod with a lateral nod.

The technique of catching on the side nod in the summer

For summer fishing on mormyshku there are several types of postings:

• Simple vertical;
• Vertical inlay;
• Play with your fingers;
• Jerky;
• Bottom horizontal;
• Wire drawing;
• Passive.

With normal vertical wiring, the snap is brought to the right place using the rods. Then it is slowly lowered to the bottom. Lifting of the mormyshka is carried out by light vertical movements directed upward, with holding a pause of 1-2 seconds every 10-15 cm. After that, the snap is again returned to the bottom and the process is repeated.

Vertical wiring to the hood is mostly carried out in the presence of a small current. It is this that helps the mormish to produce vibrations that attract fish. To do this, the rig is sent to the bottom, then slowly lifted to a distance of 7-10 cm, and so hold for 5-10 seconds, after which the procedure is repeated.

When you play with your fingers, there is a similar process, however, during the lifting, the angler additionally "excites" the bait with small finger-paws on the line moving away from the reel or motoviltsa, pulling and releasing it.

The wiring is that the mormish is lowered to the bottom in two stages: first to half, after a few seconds completely. After that, make a sharp rise of 30-40 cm up, followed by a repetition of the cycle.

Bottom horizontal wiring implies the vibrations of the mormish along the bottom at a distance of 10-15 cm from it, carried out by small-amplitude jerking of the rod in the horizontal plane.

Drawing of bait along the bottom is possible only on the territory of the reservoir open from water plants. Mormyshku lowered to the bottom, after which the rod is slowly taken to the side, dragging the bait on the bottom surface.

Passive wiring is designed for lazy anglers who do not want to contribute to the game of mormyshka. Here it is possible to apply two options: to lower the bait to the bottom, so that it simply lay there, or else - in order to have a weak current swaying.

Conclusion

The above recommendations concerning the choice of mormyshki, method and technique of catching, may not be mandatory. Any fishing is a kind of experiment, during which the angler, even the most mother, receives a certain experience, which will be useful to him the next time.

Therefore do not hesitate to experiment with baits, and with the technique of catching. Only in this way can you understand all the secrets of this fascinating lesson called fishing.
